Our Lady of Victories

Information from the Moonah-Lutana Parish history website:

In 1961 Archbishop Young formed the Lutana-Goodwood Parish as a separate parish out of Moonah Parish. The Church, Our Lady of Victories, was constructed on the site at Ashbolt Crescent. The Church was blessed and opened on 5th April 1964, as a memorial to the men and women who fought in all the wars of our country. A side chapel commemorated Archdeacon T. J. O’Donnell, the first permanent priest of the area.

*On 27th April 1999, Archbishop Doyle launched “Call to Change” and through dialogue and consultation the decision to merge the Parish and Lutana Parish into one parish on 26th May 2002 with the formation of Moonah-Lutana Parish.
